Kakashi & Keiko 2

Author: cheerfulhope

Quick flashback-When Kakashi was young , he met a girl named Keiko. They became the best of friends, but at age eight, Kakashi's long time friend died of murder. Luckily, Keiko was able to tell Kakashi about her secret. Keiko Hitachi was no ordinary person. She was the grim reaper. She was a person that took souls to their place beyond life. A reaper. On top of that, Keiko was reincarnated. Although Kakashi knew, he did his best not to look for her for that was her final wish. It had been at least eighteen years since their last encounter, so obviously, Kakashi had almost completely forgotten about her.

Ironically, Keiko was reincarnated into the village of Konoha, the exact same place her past life had been born. There, she was able to graduate and become a full pledged ninja at age six. At age seven, she became a chuunin and then at eight, she was a jounin. Unfortunately, shortly after that, her parents died and she was left all alone in a huge house. That was when she decided that she would leave the village to train in the other countries as well. Of course the hokage let her go, after all, she was the grim reaper. She needed to full fill her destiny. She pledged that there would only be one reason to return to the village.

I can't believe how long it had been since I had left the village. How could the hokage die? As I walk on the road to the beautiful village of Konoha, I think of what had happened earlier this morning. I had gotten a message from one of my fellow reapers. It turns out, the mist and waterfall villages were planning an infiltration of Konoha. If this happened then there would be a major war. Then it would push into the other countries. There would be a massacre if I didn't stop it. Or at least that was what I was told. I was ordered to warn Konoha about he invasion and then stop it. But I know I can't do this alone. This is not an S-rank mission. It is far beyond that.

My name is Jurikai and I am a rogue reaper. My mission, killing off all reapers and claiming their powers as my own. I am a genius ninja for the waterfall village. But before I gain ultimate power, I must defeat the one who will one day surpass me. Quickly, I used a transformation jutsu to turn into a girl around the age of five or six. My plan was to kill the men guarding the entrance to Konoha. Then a few of my men, would infiltrate Konoha and kill the Hokage. "Um excuse me, mister?" I asked "Oh, hello there." he said back smiling. This was my chance. He walked towards me. I stabbed him with a kunai. 'Perfect' I thought as he fell to the ground. The other one came as I expected. I was almost ready to take care of him when one of the reapers appeared.

When I walked to the gate, I noticed a small child standing over one of the Konoha ninjas guarding the gate. When I called out to her, she ran away. There was no time to chase after her. I ran over to the guard and healed his wound. I asked what happened. But, I never got an answer as a huge group of ninja attempted to invade the village. I was completely surrounded and caught in the crossfire. "I don't have time for this." I whispered to myself as I readied for the instant death jutsu I had just mastered yesterday.

It was amazing. I didn't get to see which hand seals she used, but after she did what ever it is she did, they all dropped like flies. I think she used too much chakra, though. After her jutsu, she fell to the ground. Naturally, We thought of bringing her to the hospital, but she didn't seem to be from Konoha. Anyway, we needed to report this to the Hokage. When we got to her office, she was reading something.

When I woke up, I was sitting in a chair in the Hokage's office. "What happened?" I asked Tsunade. "You were unconscious. According to Izumo, you used too much chakra and fainted."she answered "I did?" I said astonished"Well, you took out aver fifty men with that jutsu of yours. What did you expect?" Tsunade shot back."I thought I had control over it. I guess I have to train some more." I said to myself"Well, anyway, what are doing here?" she asked"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot. Hi! My name is Keiko Hitachi. And don't think that I'm crazy, but I'm a reaper. You do know what a reaper is, right?" "W-well. Isn't it a person who kills people?" she said"No. We guide souls to their afterlives. We don't kill them. But that's besides the point. The waterfall and mist village have combined and are planning to invade Konoha. If they succeed, there will be a war and a huge massacre. I was ordered to stop it, but I won't be able to do it alone. I was hoping to have the assistance of a jounin and two chuunin, you know, if it's possible." "Well, we don't have any chuunin available, but Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba are available. And I think one of our jounins are on their way back as we speak." Tsunade said.

At first, I thought that Keiko was crazy , but her story did make sense. And she seemed serious enough. The weird part was when I looked up her file. She had been a Jounin in our village. I asked her about it and sure enough, she told me about it."I left the village when I was eight so that I could train in the other villages." "Well, weren't your parents worried about you?" I asked "My parents were dead when I left, but I got permission from the third before I left so that I wouldn't be on the run." "I'm sorry." I said. "It's fine." she replied. She stood up and looked around at the office.

As I headed toward the Hokage's door, I saw Naruto. Obviously listening in on a conversation between the hokage and a client. "Naruto! It's not polite to eves-drop on people's conversation." I said "But, Kakashi-sensai! This client's a total nut case. She claims that she's the grim reaper. And Granny Tsunade actually believes her!" "Still. Naruto, eves-dropping is wrong." I saidI knocked on the door. "COME IN!" Tsunade yelled.When I entered, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Keiko. Well, it was her back, but still.

I turned to see who it was. It was Kakashi. I could feel myself losing consciousness. My face felt hot and my heart beat was rapid as I fell to the floor.I woke up to Kakashi's face. I hoped that I wouldn't faint again, but that wasn't enough to save me. Once again I woke up."Are you okay?" He asked"Um, yeah. I think so. What happened?" I asked as he helped me up."You fainted." Naruto answered"I did?" I said."Yeah." Kakashi laughed."I'm sorry." I said."It's okay." he replied. Even though he seemed amused, I could tell that he was shocked. After all, It had been eighteen years since I last saw him and he had witnessed my death. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a girlfriend or something already. I turned to see if I had made a scene. Two people in the hall were staring at me. I think one of their names was Izumo. I'm not sure about the other, though.

I couldn't help but smile as I helped Keiko up. I hadn't seen her for eighteen years. I never thought that she would faint if she saw me. Yet somehow she seemed on the verge of tears.

I don't really get old people. Kakashi-sensai was all happy and that Keiko girl was all sad. I hope I never get old.

"Kakashi, Naruto, are you both ready for another mission?" asked Tsunade"All right! We have a mission. Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed"Not just you, Naruto. I want you to go get Hinata and Kiba." Tsunade said"Why?" he asked"This is and S-rank mission." Tsunade said"Really? Cool! What are we doing?" he asked"You're going to stop an invasion." TsunadeKakashi replied, "Shouldn't we have an army fight, then?" "It doesn't matter. They'll win and there will be a huge massacre. Besides, they've split up into five groups. I think if we attack one at a time, we can weaken their arsenal and drive them back." Keiko said"How do we know you're not on their side? You sure do know a lot about the hidden waterfall village." Naruto saidKeiko took out her black book. The book that she kept all of the information of her missions in and the book that kept death records."Read this." she told Naruto, handing him the book.He read it and his eyes widened. He handed her the book back."You're a Jounin?" he blurted out."Yeah." she replied.Kakashi looked at her with astonishment."Naruto!"yelled Tsunade."Huh?" Naruto said"Hinata and Kiba?" she said."Oh, I'll go get them right now." he repliedJust as he said that, he ran out the door."Ok, now, since Naruto is out of the room, would you explain the situation so we can help as much as we can?" asked Kakashi"Sure. Well, do you remember Jurikai? The guy who killed me eighteen years ago? He's leading the army trying to invade this village. I just know that he's up to something and now I know I was right. Yesterday I was told that if the invasion succeeds, there will be a huge massacre. I was ordered to stop the invasion, but in order to do that, I'll need your help to destroy their army." she told him."So, we should leave as soon as possible?" asked Kakashi"I was hoping we could leave tomorrow so that I could take a look around the town and fix up my house a bit." Keiko relied"I'd be happy to show you around." he said."Hi. I'm still here you know." said Tsunade."Oh, I'm sorry." she repliedJust then, Naruto, Hinata, and kiba entered through the doors.Tsunade sighed in relief. "Okay Keiko, this is Kiba and Hinata. They'll be helping you.

Keiko headed to the door to her previous home. She turned the door knob slightly, afraid of the results and on the edge of tears. She thought about the sight she saw every da when she came home from ninja academy. Her parents, sitting there. Just sitting and waiting to welcome her home from school. Then she thought about the day she became a jounin. The same day that her parents had been killed. It had been a bright day. Barely any clouds at all. She'd been training and it was a weekend when she was told to go to the Hokage's office. She had been so nervous that maybe she had messed up a mission or something, which she normally didn't. When he told her that she would become a jounin, she was so thrilled. But when she returned home, there were blood stains everywhere and the house was a mess. Next to the chair her father sat in was a note: ' I will kill you, reaper.' That night, she sat in her bed and cried for hours, deciding to visit the Hokage's office for permission to leave the village the next day. But just as she was about to open the door... "Keiko!" Kakashi yelled.She turned around, relieved."Oh, hi Kakashi." she waved happily."Hi. We were all going out to get some ramen and we were wondering if you'd like to join us." he said. Kiba and Naruto waved and Hinata smiled shyly."I'd love to. But, I should be back around two o'clock so I can clean up my house and catch up on the town." she replied."Well, we could show you around the town, and a little cleaning couldn't hurt. I don't know about Naruto, Hinata or Kiba, but I don't really have anything to do today." he told her."Ok, then." Keiko smiledAs they walked to the noodle house, Naruto started talking about the mission they had to go on tomorrow."So, exactly how long are we going to be out of town for the mission?" he asked"Um, I'm not really sure, but one week at the least." Keiko replied"Wow, that sounds like a long trip." Hinata said softly"Well, we're assassinating an army of trained ninja. What did you expect?" Naruto said"A-an army?" Hinata said worriedly"Don't worry, I believe in you guys. You're all really great ninja, so this shouldn't be that hard for you. And besides, the army we're supposed to destroy broke up into five groups, so their should only be about fifty or sixty men to take down. This isn't that big of a deal, is it?" Keiko said as they entered the shop."Naruto stopped in his tracks. "Sure. This should be a piece of cake! Believe it." he exclaimed."Yeah, Akamaru and I could do it in our sleep." Kiba said ecstatically.Keiko smiled, amazed at how energetic and confident they were. Meanwhile, Kakashi wondered if Naruto, Hinata, ad Kiba were ready for this S-rank mission. "Can't believe we have to work on our day off!" Naruto complained"Oh quit whining, Naruto." said Kakashi, "Anyway, Keiko's house is a lot cleaner than yours.""Sorry. I haven't been here for ten years, so the weeds are a bit out of controll and the counter is a little dirty and this place is generally a wreck. You don't really have to help if you don't want." she said"It's okay. We really don't mind." Hinata said happily, as she picked up a rake.Keiko went inside to get gloves, but the others couldn't follow because of an invisible barrier. Hinata tried her Byakugan. "There's a huge wall of chakra." she responded timidly."Oh, I forgot. I put a seal on this place so that burglars wouldn't get in while I was gone." she said as she picked up two small boxes next to the door. They burst into flames in her hand.The house was dark. There was dust everywhere, but other than that, it was very clean. The blood stains had been cleaned a while ago, so there was no worry about stains anymore.With the flick of her finger, the duster was at work on the furnace. The others entered. "Telekinesis." Keiko explainedShe began in the kitchen, rewashing dishes and washing everything with hot water. Afterwards , she began weeding the garden. She planted new flowers. After she finished, she went into her old room, but she wasn't alone. "Kakashi. Why are you in here?" she asked"Well, I finished cleaning the living room." he answered"So, you decided to visit my room?" Keiko laughed"I guess. Is that a problem or something?" he asked"Oh, no. It's okay." she said back."Um, I'm sorry to interrupt, Keiko, but your feather duster is dusting Naruto to death." said Hinata at the door."What?!" exclaimed KeikoHinata, Kakashi, and Keiko went to check on Naruto. They found him on a corner of the room, trying to pull the duster off of him. On the couch was Kiba and Akamaru laughing their heads off."Help!! Get this thing off me!"Naruto yelledAnd with another flick the duster was on the floor."Sorry. I forgot." Keiko apologized.

The next day, Keiko wore her hair in a half pony tail. Tied with three extra strength hair bands, her hair had a white hair clip perfectly placed six inches of her hair down in the front She wore the traditional Leaf ninja flak jacket, unzipped, on top of a black turtleneck shirt. Her skirt was white, with her headband as a belt. six inches to the right of the leaf symbol were twenty needles dipped in poison earlier that morning. The poison was made from her own chakra so that if she was accidently pricked, she would be immune to it. She wore a pair of black shorts with five exploding notes in her pocket. On her left hand was her bracelet stringed with a narrow tube filled with metal wire and beaded with shrunken kunai knives and shuriken. Her shoes, low heeled black boots with retractable and opposable spikes in the heels."Are you sure you're a ninja?" asked Naruto"Don't worry about me." Keiko said as she took off her headband. Looking at the road, she flashed some light onto the road. "Just as I thought." Keiko said."What?" asked Naruto.She flashed sunlight onto the road again to reveal hundreds of strings crisscrossing eachother. She put the headband back on her waist."Jurikai rigged the road so we wouldn't take the short way." she said, "He thought we'd have to go into the forest where some of his men are most likely waiting for us. Or there could be another trap." Keiko said"So what do we do?" asked Hinata"We don't have a choice. I'll summon Artemis." she saidKeiko bit her finger. the blood was cherry red. She stamped her palm and then clapped her hands together in the air. Soon afterwards, a huge horned owl was flying towards them. She quickly jumped on. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get on." said the owlThey all got on. The owl started to lift off the ground. Its feathers were black and brown. "Unfortunately, I don't have enough chakra to get you to your destination. As soon as the road is safe, you're on your own." Artemis said"Ok." Keiko said"Where are we going?" asked Naruto"The army from the the waterfall and mist villages should be at the border four days from now. Our destination is to get there before they do and kill off the groups one by one." Keiko said"Akamaru and I could take out the first group in our sleep. Isn't that right, Akamaru?" Kiba declared. Akamaru responded with a quick yip."Yeah! Believe it!" Naruto said "Kakashi, is there something wrong? You haven't said a word all day." Keiko asked"Huh? No." Kakashi replied"okay then." she saidNaruto crawled up a bit towards Kakashi."Hey, Kakashi-sensai, what's the deal with you and that Keiko girl?" asked Naruto"She's an old friend." said Kakashi"Right... But aren't you a little old for her?" asked NarutoKakashi couldn't help but blush under his mask."It's not like that. Anyway, we should be getting off soon." he said closing his book. "By the way, Kakashi-sensai, could I read your book sometime?" asked Naruto"Nope." he repliedJust as Kakashi had predicted, Artemis landed."Well, good luck." said the great horned owl. And as quickly as he had come, he vanished in a puff of smoke. "There doesn't seem to be any traps or anything around here." Hinata stated quietly"Something doesn't feel right, though." Kakashi countered"Yeah, something's wrong. They wouldn't just let us go like this." Keiko agreedThen, out of nowhere, a girl around the age of twenty-four walked up to them. Her left arm appeared to be borken. There were a bunch of cuts and scrapes on her legs, and not to mention she was limping. Then, she collapsed.They all rushed to her aid. Feeling for a pulse, Keiko's hand started to give off a white light. She held her hand over the girl's arm. Her arm seemed to be fine now. Keiko held her hand over the girl's legs, the cuts and scrapes disappeared. Keiko's hand stopped giving off the white light, instead it was now purple. She lightly tapped the girl's temple with it. The strange woman woke up.

"Are you alright?" asked Kakashi"What happened?" she asked "We don't know. You just collapsed." Keiko replied, "It's okay now. Your arm was hurt, but it should be fine now." "Thank you. By the way, my name is Kimi." she said"What happened to you?" asked Naruto"I was walking through the woods when all of the sudden, something attacked me." Kimi said with a sad expression.'Something isn't right about her story. How could she just be attacked. We're the only ones here. And if she was attacked, why didn't they kill her? And the broken arm. Why weren't there any bruises or bites if she was attacked by a wild animal? I don't trust her. She isn't telling us the truth. Besides, I've seen that outfit before on sale in the hidden waterfall village. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.' Keiko thought to herself.Kimi got up, checking her leg for any cuts. Then she bent her arm to see if it was still broken. "How is it?" asked Kakashi"It isn't broken anymore." she said amazed"I healed the bones, but you should be more careful next time." keiko said, faking a smile. "Thank you." Kimi said smiling back.

Perfect. Now all I have to do is destroy that sorry excuse of a reaper's spirit and killing her will be a piece of cake. Humans are so idiotic. Once I get rid of her, I'll kill the rest of these wannabe ninjas. Who knew that this whiny little brat will surpass me one day? Posing as a pretty girl, crushing her heart, and then crushing her, who said crime doesn't pay?

As we approached to woods, there was a ruffle. I used my Byakugan to see what it was. There was a large group of men. It had to be the army that Keiko was talking about."Guys, um I think we found the first group." I said timidly"Really? Where?"asked Naruto I tried not to blush, but it was hard because he was right next to me."O-over there." I pointed out"Those are the guys that attacked me." Kimi saidThen I noticed it. Keiko doesn't seem to like Kimi very much, because she bit her lip right after that. Something about her makes me a little suspicious too. But I shouldn't say anything without proof. Maybe it's just me and Keiko. The others seem to be fine with her. But I can't blame them. She's really pretty. I wonder what Naruto thinks of her. We hid in the bushes. Kakashi-sensai says that we should attack them quietly and get them all at once in case the other group is right behind them. Then Naruto said that he could use the shadow clone jutsu to wipe them all out. "Naruto, there are about sixty men out there. If you use that jutsu, you'll burn out." Kakashi-sensai said. "I have an idea." Kimi said. Then she flashed a flirty smile at Kakashi-sensai. But, he didn't really seem to notice. And then it got personal. She flashed a smile at my Naruto! I didn't know how to feel. Scared. Betrayed. Hurt. Jealous. Outraged. Mad. Sad. All of these feelings poured into me like a dam collapsing. But I know one thing. That old hag better sleep with one eye open. I know that she's getting on Keiko's nerves too because Keiko clenched her fists when Kimi flashed that smile at Kakashi-sensai. "So what do we do?" asked Kiba."Leave it to me." said KimiThen she went right out into the crowd of men. Naturally, they were going to attack her. But before they could, she blew out some misty thing. Next thing, they just stood there as she stabbed them with their own kunai. It was brutal. I almost fainted from all of the blood she spilled.

I couldn't believe it. She knew the seduction jutsu. She is extremely powerful. It took me five years to fully master that jutsu and it always takes a toll on my chakra. Yet, she did it with ease. Something was definitely wrong. I wonder why Kakashi hasn't noticed. It's a bit obvious. I wonder. If she knows the seduction jutsu's second stage, then she could have erased Naruto, Kiba and Kakashi's sense of suspicion. It wouldn't work on Hinata or me because it only works on members of the opposite sex. But, that's impossible. It's only used by a handful of reapers to erase memories. Unless she's a reaper, which I highly doubt, she couldn't possibly know that jutsu. I'm probably just imagining things. But I know I wasn't imagining the flirtatious smile she gave Kakashi. If she knows what's good for her, she better back off or otherwise watch her back.

My plan is working perfectly. Hinata and Keiko hate me, but they're the only ones. They're stuck. Even if they found proof that my story didn't checkout, they wouldn't be able to say anything. If they don't, though, I could be a threat to the whole group and if they do, their teammates might hate them for picking on poor old me. As soon as they turn their backs, they die and their precious teammates go with them, with a gift of pain and grief. They'll die knowing that it was their fault for their teammate's deaths. And the best part is that Keiko will never forgive herself, knowing that if she had said something, she could have saved her little boyfriend. It's almost too easy.

After Kimi killed those guys, we decided to set up our tent and stuff. Hinata and Keiko made dinner. I can't wait until we get back to civilization so I can get some ichiraku ramen. Believe it! It was so amazing how she killed those guys. I wonder if she'll teach me how to do that? I think it was genjutsu. They just stood there while she killed them. I hope I don't end up as her enemy. If I do, it'll be really hard to win against that trick.

Kimi offered to wash the dishes, and even though I don't like her that much, I couldn't let her wash the dishes. She's our guest. Manners always come first, no matter what the situation. I just don't understand why she had to like Kakashi. She's a pretty girl. She can have any guy she wants. Of all people, we had to pick up an insecure tramp interested in caring, sweet, kind-hearted, protective, friendly, handsome guys like Kakashi. Did I do something or say something to deserve this? I don't believe in fighting over a man because they aren't trophies or anything, but in this case it means war!

Akamaru and I had seconds at dinner, so we're going to sleep early. *Yawn* See you tomorrow. Night.

I found a nice spot to train by a river. I couldn't believe that someone else was already there. But before I could leave, she had already seen me."Hinata." she whispered"Y-yes." I said. "It's me, Keiko." she said"Keiko?!" I said aloud"Not so loud!" she whispered"Sorry." I apologized"Anyway, why are you here?"Keiko asked"Well, I always train at night. Why are you here?" I asked"I was working on my byakugan. I thought I'd brush up on it since there will probably be more trouble tomorrow." Keiko said"You use byakugan?" I asked"I was the Huuga clan about a hundred years ago. So I know the secret to the byakugan, but don't worry, I haven't told a soul and I don't intend to." she saidUm, since you use byakugan and I do too, would you um..." I said trailing off"You want me to help you train?" she asked"Yeah." I replied"Of course I will." she saidWe were training when Keiko asked me, "Why do you want to change yourself.""I want to become strong. Right now, I'm weak. I have to change not just for my father, Neji and Naruto, but I want people to acknowledge me as a strong person and stop thinking I'm weak." That was my answerThen she said something that I never thought anyone would ever say to me."Hinata, you are strong. You don't have to change unless it's something you really want." I think that was a good job for just one night. Keiko was really good at gentle fist. I think I got better too.

The next morning, the second and third groups were in the forest. We decided to split up into two groups. Keiko, Hinata and I were in chargeof taking out the second group. Kakashi-sensai, Kimi, and Naruto were in charge of taking care of the other one. Keiko said that we had to be careful about this group because if they screamed or anything, the other group might find the others or surround us. We decided that Hinata would keep guard while Keiko used an army of shadow clones to attak them all at once. Then Akamaru and I would be in charge of taking care of whoever was in the trees. First Hinata used her Byakugan to see how many there were. There were seventy-nine on the ground and two in the trees. Then Keiko made seventy clones and circled the whole area. They didn't even know. After that, she used some kind of jutsu called Hades' arrows. She did a couple of seals and then swiped her hand in the air.A bow appeared. Then, she resumed shooting position and an arrow appeared in her hand. The arrows went straight through them. She got two with a few arrows. Then it was our turn. Quickly, Akamaru and I took to the trees and stabbed the two . They dropped to the ground so stunned that they couldn't even yelled in pain. We all met back up at the camp site. "So, how'd it go?"Kimi asked us."We got them in two shots." I replied"We got them in one!" Naruto bragged, "Actually, Kimi got them.""It was nothing." Kimi blushed. Then, out of nowhere, Kimi asked to talk to Kakashi alone.

It was lunch time and I couldn't find Kakashi or Kimi anywhere."Hey guys, do you know where Kimi and Kakashi are?" I asked"I think they're still talking." replied Naruto "Thanks." I said"Keiko, I think they're at the river's edge." Hinata said, giving me two box lunches. As I walked to the river, I thought about how jealous I'd been. it was probably nothing. Just because they spend a lot of time together, it doesn't mean that Kimi is after Kakashi. I'm probably just paranoid. And then, when I was finally ready to apologize to kimi for being so hostile to her, she went and did it. They were kissing at the edge of the river. Kakashi's mask was still on, though. But I couldn't take it anymore. I dropped the lunches and just ran. I just ran and ran as fast as I could. I couldn't believe it. How could he? How could they? I gave him my heart and he ripped it in two. Didn't he know how I felt about him? I thought I made it so clear. Obviously, I was mistaken. I guess he never loved me the way I'd loved him for so many years. About an hour later, I decided to go back to the tent."Oh good, you're back." Hinata saidI walked past her, only thinking of the betrayal and pain. If she wants Kakashi. She can have him. I won't stand in her way any longer. Anyway, I'm sure they'll be happy together.When I entered the tent, Kakashi was reading."Hi." he saidI walked out, not paying any attention to him or anyone else that I encountered from that point. I just wanted to be. I just wanted to live and die. I hated feeling this way. I wished that my emotions could be ripped out along with my broken heart.

I asked to talk to Kakashi. It seemed to annoy her a bit, but not as much as it could've. All we really did was just sit there. Then, as I expected, it was time for lunch. She walked right into my trap. I kissed him. But, he didn't really kiss back which is weird because the seduction jutsu should've made him in love with me. Yet, for some reason, he wasn't effected by it.

For some reason unknown, Kimi kissed me. At first I thought it was okay, but then I realized that I didn't want to kiss her. I realized that I was in love with Keiko. I went back to the tent to wait for her. When she entered the tent, she just ignored me. Did I do something?

I decided to take a walk in the woods to clear my head. Then, out of nowhere, someone attacked me. I woke up tied to a tree "Keiko's sure been gone a long time." I said worried, "I'll go look for her." As I walked in the woods, I tripped on a tree root, but when I looked down there was nothing. Suddenly, I was hit in the back of the head. "Man, where are Hinata and Keiko?" asked Kiba, "They've been gone for four hours now." "Maybe they got lost." said Kimi "Well, just in case, I'll go look for them." Kakashi said "They're probably fine. There's nothing to worry about."Kimi said "No, it's not like them to begone for hours without telling us." Kiba intervened "I guess you're right. I'll go look for them then." Kimi said "All right." he said Kimi rushed off into the woods. She uncovered Keiko and Hinata. Hinata was on top of a tree branch while Keiko was tied to the trunk of a tree. Her mouth was tied so that she couldn't call for help. She was still unconscious. Hinata on the other hand only had her mouth tied.

I couldn't help but worry about them. Kimi had been gone a really long time. So I decided to look for them. When I found Kimi, she was standing in front of a tree. There was something on the tree. Then I saw that it was Keiko. I was about to yell out to them when Keiko woke up."Good. You're awake. Now you can watch while I kill you and your precious teammates. You know what the problem is with you humans? Your emotions. Since you're going to die anyway, why don't I tell you how I did it? Well, first, I turned you rteam against you and Hinata since the seduction jutsu wouldn't work on you. Yeah. That's right. I'm a reaper. Or I used to be. Why don't you join in on the conversation? It's not polite to ignore people." Then she untied her mouth."Aren't you going to kill me now?" Keiko asked"No I'm not. But I'll tell you what. I'll let you watch your little boyfriend die. It's too bad. He was cute." "Don't lay a finger on him." And then, her eyes changed. They were sharingans. Like mine. After that remark, Kimi tied up her mouth again. "The one time you don't listen to your instincts and you get yourself and everyone around you killed." Kimi said, "Well, I guess I'll go check on the brat. See you later."She walked away.

Tears streamed down my face. 'I'm sorry, Kakashi. I caused all of this. If I'd just done this mission myself, I could have saved you. You don't deserve this. I don't deserve you. Maybe if I'd just told you earlier, then you would have known. I should have told you. Then I would at least have died happy knowing that you knew how much I loved you. But now it's too late. I saw it in my own book. Today I will die and this time I won't be coming back.'Then out from behind a tree, Kakashi walked out. He cut me loose. "Are you okay?" he asked"Yeah. I think so." I replied, wiping away my tears."Come on we have to hurry." he saidI followed as he leapt into the trees. When we finally found Kimi and Hinata, Kimi was right about to finish Hinata off.Hinata was staring straight at Kimi, ready for it. Quickly, I took a kunai from my bracelet, enlarged it and threw it at Kimi. It came between the two of them, but it barely missed Kimi.

She turned her head.

"I see you've escaped." said Kimi"Yeah." Keiko repliedKimi threw seven shuriken at keiko, but none of them hit her. Instead, they hit Kakashi. "Kakashi." Keiko gasped"I-I'm fine." he said. Then he fell to the ground bleeding."How sweet. He sacrificed himself. Too bad it was a waste." she said, grabbing the missed kunai.Keiko kneeled to the ground. She pulled the shuriken out of him. She tried to heal him. Her hands gave off the white light again. The wounds healed, but he didn't awaken. She got up. this time it was personal. She readied for battle, putting her headband on her forehead. Kimi chucked the shuriken at her. keiko quickly summoned her scythe. Twirling it, she repelled the shuriken easily. She charged at Kimi with lightening speed. Kimi dodged the attack and kicked the scythe out of Keiko's hands. Keiko grabbed her hair pin. It turned into a broom. Keiko got on the broom and flew over to Kakashi again. She took out a scroll and placed it over his body. She said an incantation meant to protect him. She left her broom next to Kakashi just in case. She then stomped her left foot. The opposable claws shot out as she did a mid air kick spiraling towards Kimi. Kimi smiled. She dodged, but they followed her. She then realized that they were lined with Keiko's chakra and were being controlled by her. She got out a kunai, but it was no use. They went right through them and straight into her abdomen. She pulled out the claws and healed her wound. Her chakra was a different color. It was dark and evil, but it healed her wound quickly."Nice try." she smirked, "But you know you know you can't beat me.""Talk is cheap." Keiko repliedThey both charged at each other, both using gentle fist style. Surge after surge of chakra, they bobbed and weaved, ducked and dodged. Keiko finally found an opening. She spat out a needle she had been hiding in her mouth. It hit Kimi in the shoulder, paralyzing her arm. "This is it." she said"Chakra Freeze."she said. She blew a whirl of blue chakra onto Kimi's body. It froze her solid. "Five Hundred Needle Strike!" she pointed her hands in Kimi's direction. Kimi tried to wriggle free, but she was already starting to lose the feeling in her legs and arms so it was no use. She screamed as the needles came at her, going through her body and the tree she was frozen to. "Damn it. She snuck in a kunai to my back." Keiko said to herself. "Nimbus!" A cloud appeared. It took her over to Kakashi. She kneeled and took the scrolls off him. She held him close. Feeling for a pulse, she hugged him. There was barely anything. She set him down gently, opened his mouth and kissed him, giving him the last of her chakra to live. Kakashi awoke to Keiko on his chest. She was dead with a kunai in her back. Naruto and Kiba ran into the area."Kakashi sensai! What happened?" asked Naruto Kiba and Akamaru spotted Hinata in the tree."Don't worry, Hinata! We'll be up in a minute." Kiba yelled"What happened to her?" he asked Kakashi once again.Kakashi said nothing. Hinata and Kiba clinbed down the tree."Are you alright, Hinata?" he asked"I'm fine. But, Keiko died protecting us all. It was amazing. I've never seen such a battle." she replied"How did she die." Naruto asked"Keiko froze Kimi to a tree and attacked her with needles made of chakra. But, Kimi snuck a kunai into her back while she wasn't looking. She gave the last of her chakra to Kakashi-sensai to save his life." she said timidly. Kakashi carried Keiko's body to the middle of the forest. He created a hole in the ground and gently put her corpse in the hole. He covered it up and walked away a tear was the only thing left on the grave. Next to her grave, he buried the black book.
